### 5.2.5 Procedure 5: EXPORT - Return export list

SYNOPSIS

            exports MOUNTPROC3_EXPORT(void) = 5;

            typedef struct groupnode *groups;

            struct groupnode {
                 name     gr_name;
                 groups   gr_next;
            };

            typedef struct exportnode *exports;

            struct exportnode {
                 dirpath  ex_dir;
                 groups   ex_groups;
                 exports  ex_next;
            };

DESCRIPTION

  Procedure EXPORT returns a list of all the exported file systems and which clients are allowed to mount each one. The names in the group list are implementation-specific and cannot be directly interpreted by clients. These names can represent hosts or groups of hosts.

IMPLEMENTATION

  This procedure generally returns the contents of a list of shared or exported file systems. These are the file systems which are made available to NFS version 3 protocol clients.

ERRORS

  There are no MOUNT protocol errors which can be returned from this procedure. However, RPC errors may be returned for authentication or other RPC failures.
